Nick
began potting in 1972 when he joined John Leach for an
apprenticeship at Muchelney Pottery. Apart from a three month stint
working with Brian Newman at Aller Pottery, Somerset in 1976, Nick
has remained at Muchelney Pottery as a Master Potter for more than
35 years.
Nick's days are spent producing the catalogue range of oven-to-tableware at Muchelney Pottery.
Parallel to this he has developed
his own signed range of work where he explores surface detail, creating distinctive pieces which are sold through
a number of galleries, including the John Leach Gallery at
Muchelney Pottery where there is a permanent selection of work
available.
2009 saw Nick begin a new journey exploring the possibilities of
oxidised firing in an electric kiln. This poses new challenges and
will offer a new dimension to his signed pieces. He also continues
to wood-fire his pots in the three-chambered climbing kiln at
Muchelney Pottery. |
